K1 4-band board wanted

[Lloyd Lachow-2]

I'm acquiring a K1 with ATU, 30 and 40. Really would love to have 20 and 80.

If nothing else, I might be interested in seeing if it's possible to rework
the existing board for 20, instead of 30.

Is it possible to have four bands on two boards - that is, not on a
four-band board?
might it be possible to swap them out to switch bands, if needed, and only
two-band boards are available?

Thanks.

Lloyd,

Elecraft does still have some band kits for the 2 band board.  Order the
kit for the band you wish to switch to.
There are no new 2 band boards available from Elecraft.

Yes, if you can find another 2 band board, you can change the band
boards easily.  The K1 will remember the OPF offsets for up to 6 bands.
You only need to change the board and set the "b1" and "b2" menu
parameters to match the bands of the boards in use.

INCREDIBLE RESULT!!!

I called Elecraft, and a few hours later, they called back: they found ONE
two-band board, and they're kitting it up with 20 and 80 for me. I'll have
to swap the boards to change, but I'll have a four-band K1.

EXTREMELY satisfied customer, still.
